Definition
A Working With Children Check (WWCC) in NSW is the background check legally required for paid or volunteer workers in child-related work. Cleaning at schools, childcare centres, OOSH and youth facilities falls within scope.
Why it matters for procurement
Operating educational or childcare sites with non-WWCC cleaners is a regulatory breach with criminal penalties for the principal employer. It's the single most common compliance gap in education cleaning audits.
How White Gold Collective applies it
All staff servicing education, childcare and youth-facing sites hold current NSW WWCC. Verification numbers are recorded against each site's roster and re-verified annually.
